On Dec. 8th. 1941, while the fires at Pearl Harbor were still raging and the Japanese were laying waste to every military installation all over the Philippines, "Dugout Doug'' Mac Arthur was on the phone most of the whole day talking to his brokers in New York.

Surely you say that as some sort of sarcasm, or joke?

Nope. There is a book titled “December 7, 1941’’ by Martin Gilbert I believe(it’s been a while since I read it) in which he chronicles the events worldwide that took place on that day, that’s were I learned that. He also wrote another book “May 8, 1945’’ in which he chronicles the events of that day.
